Held at All Saints Church and sponsored by its "Be The Light" ministry. We'll come together for an interfaith community candlelight DV vigil during Domestic Awareness Month to remember DV victims and honor survivors. Community speakers address "Domestic Violence In The Workplace" and how we must work to incorporate DV protocol and survivor support within corporations.

UTSA and the surrounding community will come together to create banners, listen to speakers, participate in a march around campus, and conclude with poetry reading. Take Back the Night's purpose is to raise awareness about gender-based violence and to advocate the right of everyone to feel safe from structural violence.

SilentCries is a live documentary/forum about domestic violence in both its physical and nonphysical forms. By taking viewers inside the lives of one healthy relationship and three disfuctional relationship, this film illustrates that violence doesn't just affect the two people that are in a relationship, it also affects their loved ones, particularly children.

Take Back the Night is an annual event providing a forum for domestic violence survivors and supporters to gather and find healing, empowerment, and a voice to speak out against domestic violence. In addition to a speak out, march, and rally, there is also a drumming circle and candlelight vigil honoring victims and survivors of domestic violence. Advocates and counselors will also be available.
